Description
-
A concrete poem which uses the repeated word "wake" (ตื่น) to evoke the blooming of flowers at the break of dawn. Streaks of transparent glue are layered over the work, forming a network of intersecting, straight lines.
ตื่น ตื่น ตื่น ตื่น ตื่น ตื่น ดอกไม้
หา แดด หา สว่าง
Wake wake wake wake wake wake flower
Looking for sunlight, looking for brightness
